Standing on the corner of Bickers and Dennison, you might not immediately recognize the L G Pinkston High School you see today. It’s a brand new building. It opened in 2022, a stark contrast to the school that stood here for almost 60 years before it. The original Pinkston was a cornerstone of West Dallas. It served the black community in the years after desegregation. The school is named after Dr. Lee Gresham Pinkston, a pioneering African-American surgeon who founded a hospital in Dallas that served the black community in 1927. The school opened in 1964 as a haven for black students. It was a vital part of the community; it provided not just an education, but a sense of belonging and hope for a brighter future for its students. The old Pinkston was a symbol of resilience. It faced its share of challenges, including a period when Texas Education Agency rated it as “Improvement Required.” But the community never gave up on it. Eventually, a new Pinkston was built, and now it serves the new generation of students. The new Pinkston is a testament to the enduring spirit of this community. It is a place where dreams are nurtured, and where innovation thrives. It has all the modern amenities like a performing arts auditorium, two gymnasiums, and a CTE component to prepare its students for careers. But most importantly, it carries on the legacy of Dr. Lee Gresham Pinkston, a legacy of strength and determination.
